There were no conflicts of interest to declare, or ex-parte communications. Tom Humphrey presented the Plamring Department staff report. Mr. I Imphrey explained that Item B and C are related. Tax Lot 2100 is not part of the development, but should be included in the zone change. The Comprehensive Plan will not have to be modified because the zone change will be from single family residential to single family residential. The subject tax lots are surrounded by R-1-8 and changing to R-1-8 will provide for better use ofthe land.

Matt Saniitore presented the planning staff report. Mr. Samitore stated that the park size would remain at approximately 12,000 square feet. There is no ordinance in place for the R-1-10 zone which would force the developer to set aside more park land. The developer, however, is granting Planning Cnnvnissiai .Minutes I-'ebrua+y I$ 2003 Page !i 3 land for both a park and additional right-of--way on Grant Road and Hanley Road. Commissioner I,unte asked if the park would be built first instead of waiting for the development to be completed. Mr. Humphrey replied thatthe developer of Cascade Meadows, along Beall Lane, will try developing the parks first, but there is no standard in place to build park land first as opposed to building homes first. This may be something we need to change in the future. Mr. Samitore mentioned that the water rights on these lots will need to be discussed with Rogue River Valley Irrigation District and any management or buy out of those water rights be taken care of before the final plat is signed. No correspondence was received from Fire District #3. A Fire District #3 representative will need to look at the queing in each cul-de-sac before consh~uction begins. Con•espondence from neighbors on Diego Court indicate objection to a through street off of Diego Court. Mr. Duncan, the applicant, has changed the design to construct a cul-de-sac bulb instead of a through street at the northeast side of the development. The water system to be built must be looped and any water line constructed past the border of the development on Hanley Road would be reimbursed to the developer by the city. Commissioner Fish suggested that access be made to tax lot 2100 from Pheasant Creek Drive instead of having additional access points to Hanley Road. Mr. Humphrey replied that [he developer of Pheasant Creek Estates has no control over how or when tax lot 2100 will develop. He also stated that there are two access points for tax lot 2100 to Hanley Road already. Mike Duncan, the applicant, P.O. Box 5656 in Central Point, stated that there is no phasing with this development and that all details should be very nice. There will be additional landscaping throughout the project and he reassured the Commission that the park will not go undeveloped. The CC&R's will address the cul-de-sac parking be for visitors only.
